I have a Pfaff 2140 that keeps breaking the top thread when I use it for embroidery. I can hear a clicking sounds just before it breaks. Works fine for regular sewing. I’ve tried different threads, needles and bobbins, along with different stabilizers & materials and nothing seems to help with the embroidery thread breaking problem. Any ideas as to what is wrong with my machine? Oh this just started about a month ago and has been getting worse as I try and finish my embroidery project.

not so easy to give answers without seeing machine but i will start at needle plate as thread move around more during embroidery than during normal sewing,if that is not the problem look at bobbin thread guide and also adjust tension little bit
